So, they decided not to mess with him anymore.
Ueno Chiki's behavior effectively shocked all the Fatui members present.
No one dared to question or inquire about his plan of action.
However, as time passed, everyone began to become increasingly anxious.
About two hours after the lady left, someone finally couldn't sit still anymore because they heard the sound of troops marching outside.
A member of the Fatui bravely walked up to Ueno Chiki and said, "Commander 9527, if we don't act now, it will be too late to complete the lady's mission, and then we will all be blamed by the lady."
Ueno Chiki ignored this guy and instead observed the expressions of the Fatui members behind him and found that they were all very impatient.
He knew that if he didn't take action, he would be questioned and opposed by these people. He found Youren in the crowd and nodded to him imperceptibly.
He sighed softly, "Alas, since you are so eager to seek death, I have no choice but to grant your wish."
The Fatui member's face turned pale in an instant, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly retreated.
However, it's too late.
"Five lightning whips!"
This time, he didn't do the weird pre-swinging action again like before, but just waved his hand out directly.
Five brilliant lightning whips drew sharp trajectories in the air. They were as fast as lightning and flew forward with amazing force. The air was filled with a strong electric breath that shocked people.
The target of these lightning whips was the group of Fatui members in front.
"Boom!" A crisp sound exploded in the air, and the Fatui members who were struck by lightning suddenly screamed. Their bodies trembled violently under the strong current, and it was an uncontrollable tremor, as if their bodies were no longer under their control.
Their skin turned black under the stimulation of the electric current, and unbearable pain emanated from every cell in their bodies.
Soon they collapsed to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
At this time, You Ren also took action. He quickly drew out the samurai sword in his hand, transformed into thousands of lightning bolts and attacked the surrounding Fatui members. Those who were hit by the lightning were instantly blown away by the powerful force.
He and Ueno Chiki were like the mighty god of thunder, bringing down merciless thunder punishment on the Fatui.
For a moment, the entire stronghold was enveloped by the brilliant light of lightning. The unfortunate members of the Fatui twisted and trembled in the light, and then fell silent.
The air was filled with a thick smell of burning and blood. Ueno Chiki looked at the charred corpses on the ground, and a strong feeling of nausea and vomiting came from his throat.
He leaned against the wall and vomited continuously until he had vomited out everything he could.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and the only living thing he had killed was a chicken.
But now he has killed people, and killed many of them. Although these people deserved it, the strong feeling of discomfort made him very uncomfortable.
Youren walked over and patted him on the back gently. "If we don't kill them, then the innocent people of Inazuma will die, so don't feel any guilt or remorse."
After hearing what he said, Ueno Chiki felt much better.
"Youren, we are about to head to the castle tower, where a very important battle awaits us!"
Chapter 71 Sorry, I’m an undercover agent
After leaving the Inazuma Castle stronghold, Ueno Chiki and Uehito quickly traveled towards the castle tower.
After regaining the Eye of God, his physical fitness has greatly improved and is far beyond that of ordinary people.
During the rapid march, Ueno Chiki encountered the resistance led by Goro and Kaedehara Manyo, the shrine bugyo team led by Kamisato Ayato, and the shogunate army that was constantly gathering towards the castle tower.
After seeing this, ordinary people hurried back home and closed their doors.
The once prosperous commercial district was suddenly deserted, with only soldiers rushing to the castle tower.
Ueno Chiki and Uehito soon arrived at the castle tower. After saying a few words to Uehito, he went straight to the highest point of the castle tower - the castle tower.
At this time in the castle tower, in front of General Raiden, Yingmei was confronting the lady.
"Madam, it's time to make an end." Yingmei looked at the lady coldly. Although she liked the charm of this woman, she would never forgive the crimes she had committed.
"End it? Hahaha!" The lady laughed out loud. "What qualifications do you have to end it with me? There is a huge gap between you and me. I am the honorable Envoy of Solstice, and you are a wanted criminal of Inazuma!"
"Right, Lord General Lei Dian." As she said this, she turned and looked at General Lei Dian.
Just as General Lei Dian was about to speak, Ying Mei spoke first, "I want to challenge you to a duel in front of the emperor!"
The lady crossed her arms over her chest, and the large white area of her chest was squeezed to be more exposed. "You actually have this trick, have you learned to take advantage of this stupid rule? I admit that I was a little surprised that I could barely pull you to the same position as me.
But I choose to refuse! Because I am a Zhidong person, not an idiot like Inazuma, and I am not bound by Inazuma's rules. "
General Raiden frowned, very unhappy with the lady's disparagement of Inazuma, "Lady, everyone in Inazuma's land is bound by the rules of Raiden. I deem the duel initiated by the traveler valid. You must participate in the duel with her!"
Yingmei looked at the lady provocatively, "Haha, I didn't expect that the lady who has always been arrogant and looked down on others would be afraid of a duel with me! Your seat assessment is not really, "
"Shut up!" The lady interrupted her angrily, "Don't say those ridiculous things. Since you are in a hurry to die, I will condescend to give you a chance and burn you to death with a gorgeous flame!"
Soon, a battle between Yingmei and the lady began in the castle tower.
When Ueno Chiki arrived at the castle tower, the battle was already coming to an end.
In the end, the lady was unable to change her fate and lost to Yingmei, who had mastered the power of three elements.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" She slumped to the ground, staring at her hands, and whispered over and over again. Her voice became louder and louder, until finally, she was almost screaming. Her face was pale, her expression was agitated, and she looked almost scary.
It was obvious that more than a year ago in Mond, I could easily crush the Traveler, but now I actually lost to her.
She couldn't accept this fact!
However, at this moment, General Raiden slowly approached her with the samurai sword Dream Isshin in hand.
There was a hint of despair on her face, she knew what she would face after losing the duel with Gozen.
When Ueno Chiki appeared behind her, she seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly shouted to him, "Codename 9527, quickly use your evil eye to stop General Raiden... Challenge her to a duel in front of the emperor. Yes, challenge her to a duel in front of the emperor!"
Ueno Chiki looked at her in such a miserable state, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. The once arrogant lady was now like a drowning person, grasping at any straw that could keep her alive.
He shook his head slowly, "I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent."
After a brief moment of daze, the lady's heart surged with strong anger, like a volcano erupting violently, "Why did you betray me? Am I not good enough for you? Why?"
Ueno Chiki did not respond to her question, his attention seemed to be completely focused on something else. He walked quickly towards Yingmei, and suddenly, he held her hand tightly.
"Let's go!" Before Ueno Chiki finished his words, they had already started running.
The moment their hands touched, Yingmei felt an indescribable joy and happiness welling up in her heart.
That feeling broke through all her defenses like a torrent, making her completely intoxicated at the moment.
Her heartbeat was accelerating, and this rapid beating seemed to come not from her heart, but from her soul.
She followed him dazedly and ran out of the castle tower, letting him lead her.
Ueno Chiki had no mind to pay attention to other things. He only cared about one thing, which was to escape from the castle tower while General Raiden was executing the lady, so that Yingmei could escape General Raiden's fatal blow.
In the original plot, the moment Yingmei walked out of the castle tower, General Lei Dian crossed the space and slashed at Yingmei with a sword.
At the critical moment, it was Kaedehara Manye's will that activated the Divine Eye of the then deceased Youren. With the blessing of the two Divine Eyes, he blocked the knife for Yingmei.
But now, due to his own intervention, Youren is not dead. Without another Divine Eye, it is impossible for Fengyuan Manye to block the knife for Yingmei.
Therefore, Ueno Chiki must take Yingmei out of the castle tower as soon as possible to prevent General Raiden from launching a surprise attack.
After they left, General Lei Dian glanced coldly in the direction they left and whispered, "You can't escape!"
Then, she continued to walk towards the lady with her dream in her hand. She wanted to execute the person who lost the duel in front of the emperor first.
The lady watched her approach step by step and stood up with difficulty. Her hands were shaking as she suppressed her fear and tried not to let her uneasiness be noticed.
"I am the envoy of Winter!"
"You know the consequences of attacking me. I swear, if you wield a knife against me, I will shatter your country, and the Fatui will destroy your cherished Inazuma!"
"Stop! I order you!"
General Thunder paid no heed to her warnings, but continued to approach with firm and measured steps, asserting her authority and determination to the lady.
Seeing her actions, the lady knew that she would not be able to escape today.
Will she eventually burn out here?
No, she couldn't die here yet, she hadn't burned the abyss and the false gods to ashes yet!
She used all her strength, clenched her claws with one hand, and attacked General Lei Dian's heart. As long as she could get the Heart of God, she would be able to...
General Lei Dian looked at her movements, a sneer forming on his face.
In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the entire space inside the castle tower.
When the thunder and lightning died out, the lady's flesh and blood had turned to ashes, and her soul turned into a red immortal butterfly, flying away in the direction of winter, leaving only a cold mask on the ground.
Chapter 72: Unthinking Knife
When Ueno Chiki and Yingmei arrived within a hundred meters of the castle gate, an incomparable pressure suddenly came towards them from all directions.
This pressure was like a tsunami, powerful and ruthless, making them feel like a small boat in the ocean that could be submerged by the raging waves at any time.
They were shocked by the shock wave of oppression, their heartbeats accelerated, and their blood seemed to solidify.
They didn't dare to stop and ran as fast as they could, the sharp wind whistling in their ears.
Not long after, they finally ran to the gate of the castle tower.
As long as you cross this door and recreate the scene of the Eye Hunting Ceremony under the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, everything will develop according to the original plot.
But at this moment, something strange happened!
A bolt of lightning like that from an angry god rushed towards Yingmei with terrifying power.
The lightning blade was like a giant sword that split the sky and the earth, carrying with it unparalleled destructive power, pointing directly at Yingmei's back.
Yingmei was startled, and out of instinct, she dodged to the side in an instant.
However, just when she wanted to dodge, she was surprised to find that her body seemed to be locked by the invisible power of General Lei Dian, as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.
The lightning blade cut through the air with a terrifying roar, and was about to hit Yingmei.
At that moment, her heart was filled with despair.
Ueno Chiki had no time to think, the Eye of God worn on his belt flashed with a brighter light than ever before, and he drew out his samurai sword.
He knew clearly that the gap between himself and General Lei Dian was too huge, so he gritted his teeth and sent his thoughts into the Evil Eye. Then, the red Evil Eye also flashed a dazzling and strange light.
